The cabin air filter in the Excelle is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you need to remove the glove compartment. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. Provide fresh air for the vehicle interior; 2. Ensure safety and hygiene inside the vehicle; 3. Adsorb harmful substances; 4. Filter solid particles from the air. Taking the 2021 Excelle as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS, maximum torque of 230Nm, and maximum power of 120kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

My Buick Excelle has been running for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When it's time to replace it, you need to remove or push aside the glove box. There's a plastic cover inside, and once you unscrew it, you'll see the filter. I used to change it myself when I was younger because it's crucial for the air quality inside the car—it filters out dust, pollen, and other particles. A dirty filter can cause strange odors when the AC is on. Now that I'm older, I prefer to let the shop handle it, but knowing the location means you can do it yourself to save some money. It's recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. You can buy the filter online for just a few dozen yuan, but make sure to get the correct model—the one specifically designed for the Excelle. Regular maintenance not only protects the AC system but also improves the healthiness of the cabin environment, as respiratory issues are nothing to take lightly. When replacing it yourself, be careful not to break the plastic clips. The location isn't hidden, so you'll find it easily.

I haven't been driving my Buick Excelle for long, but I'm very clear about the location of the cabin air filter - it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just open the glove box and gently press the clips to remove it, revealing a small compartment where the filter lives. Changing it isn't difficult; last time I did it myself in about 10 minutes with the help of a video tutorial. Once you know its location, regular checks become crucial - a dirty filter reduces airflow and can cause unpleasant odors from the AC. I typically replace mine every 15,000 kilometers, saving money by buying affordable filters online. Don't underestimate this small component - it filters the cabin air, reducing allergy risks. Its accessible location means easy maintenance without frequent garage visits, saving both time and money.

The air filter for the Yinglang is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I've replaced it a few times myself. Removing the glove compartment is easy—just push the clips, locate the filter cover, pull it out, and install the new filter. The straightforward location saves me the hassle of going to the dealership, saving money and learning a skill in the process. I recommend using an activated carbon filter for better filtration, with a replacement interval of around every 10,000 kilometers. The clear location makes DIY replacement quick, doesn't disrupt daily use, and helps protect the AC system.

What to Do When There's a Clicking Sound While Pressing the Brake in P Gear?

If there's a clicking sound when pressing the brake in P gear, the transmission fluid should be changed. Below is some information about pressing the brake in P gear: 1. Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is generally replaced every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. There are two methods for replacement: gravity drain and using a transmission flush machine. The former uses about half the amount of fluid compared to the latter. If the vehicle frequently drives on highways, the replacement interval can be extended by an additional 20,000-30,000 kilometers. Brands such as ZF, Bosch, ELF, Total, and Perede are highly recommended. 2. Function: Over time, transmission fluid viscosity becomes thinner, leading to decreased lubrication performance, reduced sealing capability, increased resistance, and accelerated wear. This results in unstable pressure and affects the working precision of the hydraulic system. Consequently, transmission control precision declines, and shift accuracy is reduced.

Why can't my car's Bluetooth connect? It shows 'now connecting to network'

The vehicle has connected to the network system. You need to disconnect the network connection and then reconnect the vehicle's Bluetooth system. After completing the pairing, the mobile phone and central control system of the vehicle can be used via Bluetooth. The functions of car Bluetooth are as follows: 1. Answering calls: Answering calls while driving is quite common, but holding the phone is highly dangerous. With car Bluetooth, you can answer calls without manual operation by using the car's audio system. This prevents distraction while answering calls, and you can use the multifunction steering wheel to answer calls, enhancing driving safety. 2. Eliminating noise and echo: Daily phone calls may have some noise affecting call quality. Using car Bluetooth for calls provides clearer sound as it comes with noise processing systems, especially useful while driving and for important calls where call quality matters. 3. Automatic phone recognition: Once Bluetooth is turned on, it can automatically search within a range of about ten meters. If your phone's Bluetooth remains on, it will connect automatically, making it convenient while driving and ensuring you don't miss important calls.
